Around 1750 BCE, in the city of Larsa in Mesopotamia, a student named Iddin-Sin sat down with a clay tablet and a stylus. He didn’t write about his studies or the gods — he wrote a savage letter to his mother Zinu because his clothes weren’t good enough:
“Tell the lady Zinu: Iddin-Sin sends the following message: May the gods Shamash, Marduk and Ilabrat keep you forever in good health for my sake.
From year to year, the clothes of the young gentlemen here become better, but you let my clothes get worse from year to year. Indeed, you persisted in making my clothes poorer and more scanty. At a time when in our house wool is used up like bread, you have made me poor clothes.
The son of Adad-iddinam, whose father is only an assistant of my father, has two new sets of clothes, while you fuss even about a single set of clothes for me. In spite of the fact that you bore me and his mother only adopted him, his mother loves him, while you, you do not love me!”
Life hasn’t changed that much. Teenagers have been guilt-tripping their moms over outfits for 3,750 years. 😂

Fearless Greek MEP exposes Turkish dictator:
Erdogan is a dictator. His country is heavily involved in criminal activities and shows no respect for human rights, even deporting journalists.
Why is Europe still doing business with Erdogan?
Even though I grew up in Southern Kurdistan, speaking Sorani Kurdish, I recently had the most amazing weekend staying with a couple from Northern Kurdistan (where they speak Kurmanji). Further proof that Kurdistan is NOT divided, in fact, it is more united than ever before. Kurdistan is ONE part!

• Israel and the Kurdish people stand together — now and forever.
• With respect and friendship, Israel and the Kurdish people stand united.
• A bond of solidarity between Israel and the Kurdish people — today and always.
• Friendship, mutual respect, and shared hopes for peace — Israel and the Kurdish people together.
This book tells a dark chapter of Turkish state crimes. When Mehdi Zana was in the infamous Prison No. 5, Kurdish was strictly banned. When his mother visited, she spoke no Turkish. To protect her from the guards’ violence, Zana stayed silent and did not speak any Kurdish word with her.
He could not say a single word to his own mother. She left the prison weeping, convinced the state had tortured her son into deafness.
This is the human cost of systematic cultural erasure.
